Enzo Fernandez to leave Chelsea?

- 19th March – our exclusive info confirms that Fernandez’s Chelsea future has been in doubt for some time, with the Blues already preparing to move for Elliot Anderson to replace him.

How important is Enzo Fernandez for Chelsea?
Fernandez cost huge money to sign from Benfica back in 2023, with BBC Sport reporting at the time that his transfer fee was £107m.
It’s hard to live up to that kind of price tag, but Fernandez has mostly performed well for Chelsea, and links with other big clubs show just how highly he’s regarded in the game.
The South American has eight goals and three assists in the Premier League this season, with stats specialists WhoScored giving him an overall ranking of 6.95/10 for the campaign so far, making him the fourth highest rated player in the CFC squad.
Overall, Chelsea could probably make big money from Fernandez’s sale, and though he wouldn’t necessarily be easy to replace, bringing in someone like Anderson from Nottingham Forest would potentially be an upgrade.
